Right clicking on Edge, menu appears on different screen, same happens for context menu

I have three screens and using Windows 10. When I right click on the right part of my main screen, the context menu appears on the third screen. The same happens on the left side of my second screen. This also happens for all sub menu items. For example if I click the three dots and go to "Tools" which has a sub-menu, the sub-menu appears on the third screen. This is extremely frustrating. I noticed it after the latest update.

I have tried all the basics including restarting my PC etc. to no avail.

    Yay, fixed for me (for now)! I had to go from top-aligned to this

    (initially a far-bigger lowering of 1*, but then I moved upwards in microshifts until it broke again; this is as close to aligned as I can get it)*

    Note: This fix did not work for a co-worker, whose Teams right-clicks insist on appearing on his laptop. Well done, Microsoft!

    I'll add to this as I appear to have the same issue. It only appears to occur when I click below a certain part of the screen - about halfway.

    This happens with favorite dropdowns as well. When I scroll my mouse over where the menus actually appear, nothing happens. I cannot click on the sub-menu options. However, when I scroll my mouse over where the submenu should be, I'm able to select options and the options are highlighted based on my mouse position where the menu actually is.

    With right-click menu's it appears that I can select the menu where it actually appears rather than where it should have appeared.

    Laptop screen set to 125%, with two external monitors.

    Using Edge on the MIDDLE monitor, with the window full screen, or placed to the right side of the screen, the "Settings" menu will appear on the wrong monitor -- it'll show on the far right monitor.

    Same goes for window popups from plugins...

    I installed latest chrome update, and I tried resetting the video card... problem persists.

    I have found doing a Ctrl-Shift-Win-B to restart the graphics drivers will minimise the problem for a while.
    Not a perfect solution but it is quick.

    Problem is in the scale of the displays.

    If i put every screen on 100% the problem is gone...

    This fixed it for me too, seems this was the issue. One of my screens is a laptop, and was set to 150, dropping it to 100 made the problem go away.
